State voters chose three representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Wyoming was won by representative William Jennings Bryan (D–Nebraska), running with shipbuilder, railroad president and director, bank president Arthur Sewall, with 51.49 percent of the popular vote, against the 39th Governor of Ohio William McKinley (R–Ohio), running with New Jersey State Senator, Garret Hobart, with 47.75 percent of the popular vote. Bryan won the state by a narrow margin of 3.74%. This is also the only election where the Republican candidate won the election without Wyoming. Bryan's support for many Populist goals resulted in him being nominated by both the Democratic Party and the People's Party (Populists), though with different running mates. One electoral vote from Wyoming was cast for the Populist Bryan-Watson ticket with Thomas E. Watson as vice president and two votes were cast for the Bryan-Sewall ticket. Bryan would later lose Wyoming to William McKinley four years later and would later lose the state again to William Howard Taft in 1908.

The figure given in the report is 296 but this causes Martin's county figures to not add up correctly. Based on newspaper reporting from November 1896, this figure should be 295, which corrects the discrepancy.Results in Weston Co. https://wyomingnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=WYWNJ18961106-01.1.1&e=-------en-20--1--img-txIN%7ctxCO%7ctxTA--------0------ 18 October 2024 The Newcastle News-Journal November 6, 189638.06%232.97%31841.03%45158.19%60.77%-133-17.16%775Totals10,37549.19%4862.30%10,86151.49%10,07247.75%1590.75%7893.74%21,092 See also United States presidential elections in Wyoming Notes References Wyoming 1896 Category:1896 Wyoming elections
